With my dream, came a goal. To save enough money for my airfair to and from America and enough spending money to fulfill my american dream. From the day I was given that goal to the day we flew to America, I worked my ass off day and night to make sure this goal and dream was full filled. I had plenty of set backs and times where I wanted to quit my job, give up and was almost forbidden to go by the doctors. But I did it. And I'm living proof that good things do...

I woke up and for the first time throughout this whole trip, i was dreading today. Today was it, time to say good bye. I finished packing the last of my stuff and tripple checked that i wasnt leaving anything behind before the bell man came and collected our 4000 bags. We had a bufet breakfast before nanna suggested i do something to leave my mark on new york. so as we had time to kill, we headed down to the stationary shop, bought a permadent marker and lock and...

Breakfast today was down the road at a little Bagel place called the Bagel factory but believe it or not, i decided to get a Ham and Cheese croissant....perhaps im getting a bit sick of bagels!

After waking up and enjoying yet another Bagel and Cream Cheese for breakfast (in my defense this one was a sesame seed and onion bagel), i decided to head off and explore the streets of brooklyn whilst nanna and poppa were getting pampered! I didnt want to travel to far as ive heard some parts of brooklyn can be extrememly dangerous so i stayed within a 2km radius of the hotel. Something i had always wanted to do was get my nails done in america, and although i ...

An early morning rush it was to make it in time for the 10.00am bus that left manhattan for Six flags, New Jersey. It was a rat race having to catch the subway from brooklyn into new york and then find our tickets and way to the bus all on our own. That subway system is tricky! But we made it (just).. As soon as we got there, about 2hrs later, there was nothing but sky high roller coasters and rides that looked more impressive than i could have asked for. I was ...
